uTorrent

Modified on: Tue, 30 Aug, 2016 at 6:34 AM

uTorrent is a Bittorrent client. The application can be run as a Windows Service using FireDaemon Pro, which allows you to have the application start automatically at boot prior to login, start multiple instances of the application and more. This HOWTO will show you how to set it up. You can also use FireDaemon Fusion to manage FireDaemon and other Windows services via a web browser.

Next start the FireDaemon Pro GUI from the desktop shortcut. Click on the "Create a new service definition" button in the toolbar (or type Ctrl+N) and enter the information into the fields as you see below. Adjust the paths to suit your installation.

Executable: The path to your uTorrent.exe file. The default path is C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe.

Now click on the Settings tab. If you DON'T want to see uTorrent running, uncheck the Interact with Desktop check box & select “Hidden” from the “Show Window” dropdown. You can optionally run uTorrent as the user you installed it as. In the Logon Account field type your username (e.g. Administrator) and then enter the user's password twice in the Password and Confirm fields. You can also change the Process Priority to allocate more CPU time to uTorrent or specify which CPU or core uTorrent will run on (in the case of multi-processor, hyperthreaded or multi-core CPUs).

Now click on the Lifecycle tab. Uncheck Graceful Shutdown as uTorrent doesn't respond to it.
